Option #1: Strategic Leadership
You will assume the leadership style and leadership roles of a hypothetical organization leading a team for purposes of this assignment.
Next, you will reflect on what you learned from each of the self-assessments (survey 8) and (survey 9), (Northouse, 2019), and describe what you learned from them or from other course insights that could be leveraged to address leadership styles and leadership roles in organizations. Be sure to assume the perspectives of a leader in this scenario.
Your paper should be arranged into the following titled sections:
Introduction
Overview of Transformational Leadership style
Overview of Authentic Leadership style
Applicability of self-assessment if leading a team in an international setting
Summarize the key similarities and differences of your self-assessment and your classmate’s self-assessment.
Conclusion

Final Paper Instructions:
Include an introduction. It must provide a clear statement of your position on the topic.
Your paper must be at 8-10 pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.
Select five credible, peer-reviewed, scholarly sources (published within the last five years) from the CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.). This should be in addition to course textbooks, required or recommended readings, or lecture material you decide to use.
Offer your conclusions regarding how best to lead a team (i.e., your informed opinion on the issues raised).
The paper shall comply with the requirements defined within CSU Global APA Guidelines (Links to an external site.).
Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric for grading criteria.
The paper must demonstrate what you have learned about current issues related to experiences of strategic leadership management. Your paper is expected to have depth and offer a thoughtful analysis on the topic. The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with evidence.
The most common mistakes in writing an essay are (a) simply summarizing the topic and not analyzing it or discussing your views and (b) failing to relate the subject to the broader context of leadership, as discussed in class and as found in the readings. Adequately including the broader contexts includes, for example, considering how your research might yield a different approach to strategic leadership management.
